HELL'S KITCHEN, NY — Firefighters battled a blaze on the rooftop of a building on the grounds of a Hell's Kitchen church Tuesday afternoon, an FDNY spokesman told Patch.

Twelve FDNY units, with 60 firefighters, arrived on scene at Sts. Cyril and Methodius and St. Raphael's Church — located on West 41st Street between 10th and 11th avenues — around 12:45 Tuesday, an FDNY spokesman told Patch. The fire itself was not located on the main church building but rather on a rectory next to the church, the spokesman told Patch.

The fire was declared under control on hour after firefighters responded to the scene, according to FDNY officials.
